Scared and nervous "Elephant"

  • I got the nickname in junior high and it has stuck with me. I am 330 lbs and sick and tired of it. It is high time for some positive change in my life and I think I made a right step by signing up with the Ideal Protein clinic. I am day 9 and 14lbs down. I can do this.
  • Welcome and good luck.
  • What a cruel thing to say to anyone! Good luck my dear, we're here for you. Don't let anyone but yourself influence you, because doing it for those childish pricks will get you nowhere. I bet you're beautiful as-is, but doing it for your health should be reason numero-uno.
